This is a great class regardless of owning a Glowforge. I have always been interested in how it works and even if it is worth purchasing one. This video is a good overview on care and how the machine works. It is cool to see an over all function of Glowforge.

This is great beginner class! I was wondering how often you find yourself needing to do the recommended maintenance? Is it every use, every 5 uses, etc?
